Yangton Lama Tashi Gyaltsen Rinpoche was born in 1954 in the remote region of Dolpo, northwest Nepal.
He is the Head Lama of Yanggon Thongdrol Phuntsog Ling Monastery. Lama Tashi is known as an accomplished meditator and scholar. Lama Tashi received his Geshe degree at Menri Monastery in 1986. After receiving his degree, he returned back to his native village. He then built Yanggon Thondrol Phuntsok Ling Monastery in 1988. He relocated the temple in 1993, and constructed a prayer-wheel room, and a monk’s residence.

Lama Tashi public talk and teachings will focus on the Heart Advice of Tapihritsa and Help and Protection from Sipé Gyalmo.
These are part of the Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyü teachings. These were never hidden during times of persecution and therefore the transmission remains direct and unbroken.

The heart advice of Tapihritsa introduces students to the natural state of their own mind.

The advice is divided into 4 categories:
- The 4 Immeasurable
- The 5 Practices
- The 4 Leavings in the Ultimate Nature
- The 3 Kinds of Confidence.

Sipé Gyalmo is one of the main female protectors of the Yungdrung Bön tradition. She protects health, prosperity and spiritual development as well as supports our success in whatever we want to accomplish. Lama Tashi will give instructions regarding prayers to Sipe Gyalmo and offerings.

The 6 Lamps is one of the most important Bön Dzogchen teachings, guiding the student to a direct experience of the luminous self-awareness that is the Nature of Mind.

The practice of the 6 Lamps starts with a meditative introduction to our own inner light, then progressively helps us to clearly discriminate between our ordinary mind and our wisdom mind.

As we come to realize that all arising phenomena ultimately manifest from our pure wisdom mind, this journey of the 6 Lamps is a powerful path to self-liberation.

The 6 Lamps:

· Lamp of the essential point of the abiding presence of the primordial base, and the recognition of the arising of self-awareness from within this
luminous expanse.

· Lamp of the essential point of where the primordial base and internal arising of self-awareness are situated.

· Lamp of the essential point of the path for the unimpeded arising of transcendent, penetrating Wisdom awareness.

· Lamp of the essential point of the door through which the visions of pure awareness come forth.

· Lamp of the essential point of how to directly ascertain the wisdom of the 3 bodies.

· Lamp of the essential point of the bardo moment when delusion and realization, samsara and liberation, intertwine and diverge.

This remarkable teaching can be of great benefit to all seeking the true nature of mind through self-liberation.
Chongtul Rinpoche’s sharing of this ancient, transformative wisdom is an extraordinary opportunity to receive this teaching from a contemporary Dzogchen master.

The ancient Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyud Dzogchen teachings are methods to realize the unconditioned and full potential of the clarity aspect of one’s own natural mind.

These great teachings will be given by His Eminence Lopon Trinley Nyima Rinpoche - a Dzogchen master and the Lopon of Menri Monastery. Rinpoche is the successor of the unbroken Yangton lineage.

Thögal practice is an integral part of Dzogchen teachings of Great Perfection by which the practitioner overcomes all limitations. Going beyond time, birth, death, aging and sickness, finally realizing the Great Transfer - transcending his own material body into body of light.

This result means manifesting unlimited wisdoms and compassion for all beings in all dimensions.

Students will spend ten full days in retreat with Menri Lopon. Daily schedule includes teachings, practice and daily rituals.

It is our great pleasure to announce the upcoming teaching program by Chongtul Rinpoche for the fall and winter seasons. We look forward to welcoming everyone to share in the Bön teachings and hope to see you at the retreats.

Chongtul Rinpoche is the reincarnation of Tog Den Won Po Sherab Tenpai Gyaltsen and Geshe of the indigenous Bon spiritual practice of Tibet.

This is attained by means of one practice: single-pointed meditation on the Natural Mind. The meditator passes beyond mind and encounters the inconceivable vastness of the natural mind and ultimate truth.

All delusions, ignorance and emotions are liberated. Freeing the practititioner from daily problems is of benefit; however, Dzogchen, the path of liberation, is the ultimate benefit.

This compilation of Geshe Namgyal’s teachings provides the root, summary and essential points of the Pure Dzogchen from the Zhang Zhung Tradition.

Ouch!!
Chaphur RInpoche gave this transmission a couple years ago, over three days, online, for free/donation.
And the Experiential Transmission in the same way.

These teachings of Geshela TenGelek are more extensive see below on the Bön forum.
Geshela takes more time and will teach according the style of the Bön Yongdzin Rinpoche.
Guess that is a little different .

Also the explanatory teachings like the Drakpa Korsum will be teached etc.
One cannot compare that with the teachings of Chapur Rinpoche , which are of course also very precious, because ZZNG is very special and precious.
